Deck the Halls – 2012 Christmas Geneameme

It’s the start of the Advent season today and I thought it would be fun if we shared our different experiences of Christmas and how we celebrate it around the world. By doing this through a geneameme we’ll be able to compare our responses and see whether we do things very differently or if there’s lots of similarities.

For this meme, it doesn’t matter whether you’re religiously inclined or not, just tell us how important this season is to your family.

It would be great if you joined in from around the world– the more the merrier (and it’s the season to be merry!). I’ve tried not to be Australia-centric so please pull me up if any of these are unclear…we should all be able to “have a go”.

THE 2012 CHRISTMAS GENEAMEME

Do you have any special Xmas traditions in your family?

Is church attendance an important part of your Christmas celebrations and do you go the evening before or on Xmas Day?

My husband loves all the festive period, decorating the tree, the lights and all the wonderful foods. As soon as the Christmas Channel appeared on Sky it has barely been off onto another channel and I can just about get a quick Sky News fix! I am afraid I am a real bar humbug, much to hubby’s horror!

Thanks for sharing your Christmas memories Donna. I really enjoyed your responses as you’ll see from my comments. It’s so interesting seeing how all of us share this special time with our families and friends. We’ve also had years where we invited “orphans” to our Xmas -people a long way from home. Sounds like your family Christmases are very special. Have a happy Christmas 2012. Pauleen

Totally understandable Pauleen, family always comes first. That added on to this busy time of year would not have been a good thing and I do hope all is ok with your grandson. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and new year.
